Roadkill Experiment Shows That Six Percent of Drivers Are Sadistic Animal Killers

Quote:

He found out that 94 percent of drivers did what anyone in their sane mind would do: keep driving on their lane. Remember that the animals were on the road's shoulder, way outside their driving path. They didn't pose any danger whatsoever to the drivers' safety.

On the other hand, six percent went out of the driving lane to run over the animals. Think about that: sixty out of one thousand drivers actually went out of their way to kill a living thing that didn't represent any danger to their lives—and risking their own lives in the process, no less. Six percent were just cruel because they could be. For their own sadistic pleasure, I can only imagine.

Oh, and two more things:

• 89 percent of the 6 percent were SUV drivers.

• Mark repeated the study "on a smaller scale on a secluded road leading up to a gun club by my house. Turns out, if you're a turtle, snake or tarantula, your chances are almost (but not quite) double of getting run over there."

Like he says, correlation does not imply causation, but I'm sure you people will have a lot to say about this.

Crazy bastards :shakes head:

Hadn't checked Gizmodo in forever. Interesting albeit extremely disturbing article. Repped.

i would say it is higher.....in MI.

rofl. fuckin psychos

That was funny. Cant believe people actually serve to kill stuff.

I bet at least 25% of those 6% were just accidental lane changes due to applying makeup or text messaging. :)

I laughed my *** off.

canes7 is one of the psychos. add him to the list

I for one have blacked traffic to help a turtle out of the road. I never helped a snake, but I wouldn't purposely run it over either....never saw a tarantula in the road...yet.

This doesn't surprise me. Psychopathic people exist in our society, and their mental disability often manifests itself as cruelty to small animals. If they are willing to torture an animal when outside a car, why would they suddenly become less sadistic inside a vehicle?

Next time, fill the turtle with explosives.
